My name is Taka. I am the owner of TAKA, Japanese restaurant in Buckhead, Atlanta, USA.
I opened this small place in 2002.
Restaurant business is drama without script. It is fun and stress. But the word of "Thank you. It was delicious." is everything. It is encouragement, reward, vitamin for tomorrow. I write my everyday's drama here.
Thanks for all.

Update September 12, 2012

Fish
delivery and more

Tuna supply is not great. We deal it with yellow fin
tuna. It was very good in August. But this month is not same as last month.

One of good news is uni. It is available now.

Sanma season is just started. We had the first shipment
last week. The size was big and taste was great. Sanma, saury is typical autumn
fish for grill. It is blue skin fish and has EPA and DHA a lot.

Weight
Control and Golf

It was not bad last week. I
played with Japanese Chamber commerce people. I shot 87. I missed many birdie
or par putts. But I still got 2 birdies. I cannot play this weekend and next
weekend.

My weight issue is same, it is
still 170 lbs. It is just like slow moving hurricanes, stay at same place for a
while.

No more Highchair

We dumped 2 of highchairs
at the end of last month. Can I say it “Finally”? We have been Buckhead Family
Sushi restaurant since 2002. Now, we can say Buckhead Sushi restaurant. Some
customers are very happy with this.

Food stamp spending has doubled during Obama's four years - $75.7
billion now spent each yearNew
data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) about its Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known more popularly as "food
stamps," reveals that more people than ever are now taking handouts from
the federal government to buy food. According to the latest figures, about 45
million individuals living in America are now enrolled in the food stamp
program, which is more than double the number that were enrolled in 2003.
The same data, which was compiled for the fiscal year ending on September 30,
2011, shows that total expenditures for the food stamp program have also
reached a record $75.7 billion, which is almost double the amount from just
three years prior in 2008. The redistribution of taxpayers' wealth via the food
stamp program is now the single largest annual expense in the USDA's budget, a
serious point of contention in the current political circus.
Vitamin C lowers blood pressure, improves vascular function to lower heart
attack and stroke riskIncreased
blood pressure, even before clinically diagnosed as hypertension, is a
significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Elevations of
just 3 to 5 millimeters of mercury can dramatically raise the risk of a fatal
heart attack or cerebrovascular event. Nearly 30 percent of US adults have high
blood pressure or hypertension that places them at much higher risk for disease
progression.
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have published
the result of a study showing the importance of supplemental vitamin C to lower
blood pressure in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Lead study
author, Dr. Peter R. Miller commented "Our research suggests a modest
blood pressure lowering effect with vitamin C supplementation," noting
that vitamin C taken at higher doses than suggested by the recommended daily
requirement effectively lowers blood pressure enough to lower risk of a heart
attack or stroke.
The study involved a meta-analysis of 29 randomized, controlled and previously
published clinical trials that reported systolic or diastolic blood pressure
values and also compared vitamin C intake to a placebo. Many nutrition experts
believe that large amounts of vitamin C, an essential micronutrient found
primarily in fruits and vegetables, could lower blood pressure, but a formal
study to test this hypothesis has been lacking.
The researchers found that taking an average of 500 milligrams of vitamin C
daily, about five times the recommended daily requirement, reduced blood
pressure by 3.84 millimeters of mercury in the short term. Among those
diagnosed with hypertension, the drop was nearly 5 millimeters of mercury.
While these results may not sound dramatic, they can be sufficient to
dramatically lower cardiovascular and stroke risk for the millions of adults
diagnosed with mild hypertension.
